Review: Good - script works

§
Posted: 16/08/2014

Great Script. Just Offering Some Help.

The script works great and it is fast. Doesn't slow down the browser at all from what I can tell. I just wanted to post this test page because I thought it could help out: http://yellow5.us/firefox/testcases.txt

This script can't linkify some of those link samples, but this should help. I remember having a script before that linkified all of them, but it's now lost because I can't get it back from userscripts.org and I forgot what it was called.

This script is by far the best replacement for it. Keep up the great work!

Update to 2.3! The regex got pretty complicate. Tell me if there is any performance issue.

No performance issues at all. It linkifies instantly. But it seems to stop at a certain point in the url: http://i.imgur.com/dlrMdha.png

Does that happen to you, too?

You're using Firefox 32 right? I notice this weird bug too after upgraded to 32. Since it works fine on Chrome and Firefox 31, I guess Firefox just broke something. I'll try to fix it though.

Edit:
Fixed at version 2.3.4

I've noticed that the script doesn't work on urls with dashes (-) in them.

So what the problem is? You can't paste text to <textarea>?

§

yes, but the text is a script code...

What does "can't paste" mean? Were you able to paste them on other sites? Were you able to paste plain text instead of code?

i didn't try to past the code in an other site....
It's when i past the code (just past it without formatting) , the page hang;
I got a message from firefox about to "stop or continue" your script.

And when i stop it, it rehang.

The only solution is deactivate your script.

My config :
Firefox 32.0.1
win7

Ps :
I test here on Greasy Fork to send to you the same script and it hang too ,
like on Userstyles.org...

It seems that linkify plus plus conflicted with some scripts on that page. Could you give me the text you pasted? You can put it on codepad or just mail it to eight04@gmail.com.

Alright.

First of all, never paste any big text to forum or private message directly. You should upload it to file/code hosting sites and paste the link. And your file is 147kb.

Second, when you paste those text to message box, the page generated nearly 10000 nodes per second. That's why Linkify Plus Plus would halt your browser since it have to linkify 10000 nodes every second.

Finally, it was fixed at version 2.3.17. Script execution will be delayed if there are too many nodes to linkify.
